The current PTR changes for GotEM in 3.3 gives resto druids a flat 10% haste across the board. I have not included a scenario where a druid will have both GotEM and Celestial Focus, a scenario where a druid has not maxxed out 5/5 GotEM, nor a scenario with Power Infusion (as it does not stack with Bloodlust), but most other scenarios of raid buff combinations are considered.

NOTE: for a more detailed graph of the GCD with Celestial Focus taken into account vs no CF, click here.

New Cast TimesThe following will become our new "base" cast times, before gear or raid buffs are added.

In short... we will need a lot more haste to get to that 1 sec GCD... I guess that's not all that big of a deal. For those of us capable of acquiring t10, losing the t9 4-piece means we care less about crit again.

And if I am reading that new glyph right, stacking haste makes Rejuv quite nice...

Others who get t10 may still like crit, as well. It depends on what your role is as a healer in raids, and thus what spells a druid finds themselves needing.

The same thing applies to the new hasted rejuv-tick glyph. Faster-ticking rejuvs make a target swiftmendable for less time per cast, which could be very undesireable for some druids, as well as cases where damage is going out slower over a raid and the faster ticks may be wasted. Personally, I find the Nourish glyph more useful in my raiding than making my rejuvs faster would be. After all, if I want fast ticks, I'll drop on a lifebloom :)

Taking your number:1192.36 / 32.79 = 36.36Adding 10% for GotEM makes 46.36 %For 1.0 GCD we need 50% so where do the missing 3.64% come from as you say the 1192.36 is without any other buff besides GotEM ?
